Chapter 381: The Inn's Beings
In the Yunzi room of the Qingshan Inn, Lan Yi touched the desktop and stool with his fingers, looked at the things in the room, and nodded with satisfaction, "Steward Li really manages it well." ”
Li Ying was praised by the master, and he was naturally happy, "It's all within the villain's business, and I dare not be praised by the owner." ”
is different from Zhao Shangjing, who lives on the mountain, Zhao Shangjing was hired by Xia Shun to take care of Peony for Xia Wan, and Li Ying was picked out by Lan Yi to manage the inn for himself, so Li Yingcai called Lan Yi the owner. In fact, Zhao Shangjing has been here for a long time, so he naturally knows that the peony garden on this hillside is really in charge of Lan Yi, but Lan Yi respects him Uncle Zhao, and he follows the name of Lan Yi by others, but his respect for Lan Yi is not half a point less than that of Li Ying. This kind of respect comes from the heart, although Lan Yi is a woman, she has a very high means in handling things, the reward and punishment are well-organized, reasonable, fair and just, and they are very down-to-earth when they follow such a master.
Lan Yi nodded and smiled, and didn't say much, "You also heard just now, there are some problems with the Yixue house in the village, I plan to vacate this small building, and temporarily let the children in the village study here, and they will have to live for a month or two, what do you think?" ”
Li Ying bowed down, "The villain obeys the orders of the owner." ”
"Steward Li, sit down," Lan Yi introduced the details, "There are five classes of Yixue students, each class has as few as ten people, as many as twenty people, and seven masters, which is not a lot. Seven or eight times out of ten the matter of moving here to study is to be booked in this way, and I called you here mainly to hear your opinion. One is how to use this room, and the other is what problems should be paid attention to. Tell me about it. ”
Li Ying looked up slightly at Lan Yi's face and sat down across the table. With so many children coming to study, it must be a lot of things to add, and the normal business and tranquility of the inn will also be disrupted. But Lan Yi is the owner, and Li Ying naturally will not object to what she decides.
"Owner, it is a good thing to let the children come to study and avoid the rain and the disaster. There are a lot of rooms in our small building, but as you can see, there are also tables, chairs, beds, cabinets and other things in the house, which cannot all be sent to the utility room. Li Ying talked about the matter, "The rooms in the inn are big and small. Why don't you use the big room and use the small room to put things. Five classes require five large rooms, and more than 20 people can't accommodate it. Six rooms are needed, and there are seven large rooms in this building, which should be able to accommodate them. and set aside a room for the masters to rest. ”
Lan Yi nodded.
"With so many people coming, no matter how much it will affect the business of the store." Li Ying replied calmly. "Why don't you simply fence this little building with a bamboo fence and let these children enter and exit through the side door, you see?"
"That's an idea. You take inventory of the contents of the building, you don't have to move them yet, and wait until it's settled. Also," Lan Yi smiled, and continued, "Although it will affect business. But it will also add some business, if the weather is bad. If you don't go back at noon, you must have dinner at the inn. In addition, there are a few children who are enrolled in the school this year who are not from their own village, and they also have to eat, and if these children are picked up and picked up, they can also earn some refreshments by the way. ”
Li Ying is in business, Lan Yi mentioned this, his eyes lit up, he nodded again and again, and then said, "Owner, what if we buy some more children's food and toys and set up stalls at the entrance and exit of the children's path?" ”
Lan Yi smiled and shook her head, "There is already a grocery store in the village, so let's not compete with them for business." "The grocery store is opened by the two sisters-in-law and sister-in-law Niu, and Lan Yi naturally doesn't want to steal business with them for this kind of income.
"Yes." Li Yingying, "The owner, if you have nothing to do now, the villain will go and take this month's accounts over to you?" ”
At the end of each month, Li Ying will send the accounts of the Qingshan Inn to Lan Yi's house for her to see, Lan Yi came over today, just in time to check the accounts. Li Ying is the housekeeper and bookkeeper of the inn, and since he came to Lan Yi to manage the accounts, he has been criticized and trained by Lan Yi several times, and the account records are much clearer and clearer than before.
"Don't worry," Lan Yi looked out the door, "I still have something to tell you." ”
Li Ying understood, walked to the door and looked at it, closed the door again, and waited for Lan Yi's instructions.
"There is a white-faced scholar about twenty years old living in the inn, named Liang Yousi, where does he live and what is the situation?"
Li Ying was stunned for a moment, thought for a while and replied, "There is indeed such a scholar who lives alone in the Drinking Fragrance Courtyard and has been here for nearly two months. ”
Thinking of Liang Yousi's appearance of pretending to bury jade, Lan Yi shook his head, and Lan Yi then asked, "Where is he, what does he do on weekdays, and who do he interact with more?" ”
Because he is a permanent guest, Li Ying knows more about nature, "Liang Yousi is a person from the capital, and he, like other scholars, came from a study tour to find Qingshan guests in the Peony Garden. Like other scholars, he likes to visit the mountains and rivers on weekdays and enjoys reading. ”
Visiting the landscape and reading for fun? Lan Yi shook her head, Liang Yousi's household registration is a person from the capital, which is a bit unexpected to her, I thought he was from Mei County, Dongping Prefecture, but although it is difficult or impossible to fake the household registration, she just experienced it, but if the Wang family of Meixian County took great pains to get a fake household registration and sent this idiot over, it is also incomprehensible to the Zhao family, could it be that she guessed wrong?
Lan Yi then asked, "Where did they go to visit the landscape?" ”
Li Ying said with a smile, "The small one is just a few readers talking about poetry and papers together, and traveling together, and those who can be so free are all rich children." However, if you talk about it, this Liang Yousi is also a little different from other scholars, the scope of his visit, it seems to be smaller, in addition to reading behind closed doors on weekdays, that is, to look in the garden, or to talk to people in the village, or to our Daqingshan around. According to him, the mountain villagers of Jue are simple and simple, and they have the interest of a 'peach orchard'......"
After Li Ying finished speaking, he still shook his head amusedly.
Lan Yi looked at Li Ying's attitude and knew that she couldn't ask anything, "I met this person once today, and I think his behavior is quite strange, you pay attention to this person on weekdays, if there is anything unusual about him, tell me again." ”
Li Ying nodded, looked at Lan Yi, opened his mouth, and felt that it was inappropriate.
Seeing him like this, Lan Yi asked, "It's okay to say it directly." ”
Li Ying lowered his head, a little embarrassed, "Owner, if there is anything different about Liang Yousi from other scholars, it is him, he pays a lot of attention to Xixiang and Liuliu." (To be continued.) )
